Cherokee Nation Open Source License

[Benjamin Rossen]

The article didn't say much about the Cherokee Nation's license, except that 
it is still being written. Perhaps someone ought to approach them in the 
spirit of friendly co-operation to assist with the preparation of a license 
that meets the Open Source Definition. 

If it does, of course, then being a Cherokee Nation license shall become 
somewhat of a moot point. It shall belong to the Open Source Nation; being 
people like myself wearing dark stripes under our eyes... but not from 
warpaint.
